SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 771,714, dated October4, 1904. Application fil d March 14,1904. Serial No. 198,165. (Nomodel.)

To ctZZ whmn it may concern.-

Be it known that we, HARVEY CoALE and LEWIsS. GREENSFELDER, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Baltimore, State of Maryland, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which thefollowing is a specification.

In an application filed by us on the 20th day of January, 1904. SerialNo. 189,901, we have shown and described an improved closure for bottlesadapted to cover the throat and end or lip of the bottle and havingsealing engagement with the bottle interiorly and exteriorly. This formof closure requires a special form of bottle, and the presentapplication is intended to present a form of bottle capable of beingused with the closure made the subject of the application referred toand capable of use also with the closure made the subject of anapplication filed by us January 20, 1904, Serial N 0. 189,902.

The present invention consists of a bottle having an inner groove topermit of the engagement therewith of a closure or a part of a closureadapted to be expanded thereinto and having an outer shoulder or beadadapted to be engaged by an overhanging flange.

1n the accompanying drawings we have represented in Figure l a sectionalView of a head of a bottle embodying our improvement, while in Fig. 2the sectional view also shows the improved form of closure shown in caseSerial No. 189,901 as this closure appears when in place upon thebottle-head.

Our improved form of bottle is provided upon the exterior of the head orupper end with an enlargement 3, which is grooved to form an annularbead l a suitable distance below the top, the under side of which beadforms a shoulder capable of locking engagement with the overhangingflange or rim B on such a closure as that shown in Fig. 2. Within thethroat of the bottle, below the mouth thereof, is an annular groove 2 ina slightly lower plane than the bead 1, and this groove forms aninterior shoulder into which the inner part of the stopper 0 of cupshape is adapted to be expanded. The external bead and the internalgroove are simultaneously formed by a tool applying at the same instantinternal and external pressure.

While the bottle as shown is necessary to a closure of the typeillustrated in Fig. 2, we do not limit ourselves to the use of thebottle in this connection alone.

What we claim is- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a bottlehaving a groove formed within its throat and a shoulder or bead formedby a groove on the exterior of the bottle-head, the inner and outergrooves being approximately in the same plane, substantially asdescribed.

2. As an improved article of manufacture, a bottle having a grooveformed within its throat adapted to have a closure expanded therein andan external shoulder formed by a groove on the exterior of the bottlehead adapted to have the flange of a sealing-closure forced into lockingengagement therewith, substantially as described.

3. As an improved article of manufacture, a bottle having a roundedcrest or top termimating in an interior and exterior groove.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
